2014 Renault Captur 0.9L Petrol · AO14 XAG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend in its maintenance history. The most recent MOT conducted in September 2025 at 51,504 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical and safety concerns have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in 2023, suggesting that the current ownership is responsive to testing requirements despite a brief period of failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with only 3,621 miles covered between the September 2024 and 2025 tests, and 3,756 miles in the year preceding that. This low annual mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of rubber-based parts perishing due to age rather than mechanical friction-related wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres, as the record reveals a history of perishing and damage. The 2022 test flagged cracking and perishing on three tyres, and the 2024 failure resulted specifically from a structural sidewall tear on the nearside front tyre. Given the age of the car and low mileage, it is vital to check for sidewall cracking and dry-rot regardless of remaining tread depth. Additionally, the inspector should verify the suspension bushes and brake lines for signs of cracking, as these components can become brittle when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods.
